Re: Favorite Animated Film From Each Year of the 1980s.

The decade I was afraid to post because unless you're a die hard anime fan(see mjf), the options are quite limited. I just hope I've got something for each year.

I'm looking forward to the 70s thread. :) I wonder if I'll be the only one to have a film for every year.

1956 is the most recent year where I haven't seen any animated feature films. I'll have to fix that soon. Maybe I'll watch the Russian Twelve Months. It looks like that's probably the best choice for 1956, especially since I liked the Japanese Twelve Months which is similar.

Edit: Btw even without anime there's still at least 1 good film for every year of the 80s. My non-anime favorite of 1984 is The Soldier's Tale (and for the other years see my earlier post).

Edit: I just watched Twelve Months so now my next missing year is 1945. Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors seems to be the only choice for that year.

That's my list for now! I always try to see more, so we'll see what happens. Also, if you don't like any films from a single year, don't list one. It isn't right to list a film you hate just because it was the only one you saw.

Re: Favorite Animated Film From Each Year of the 1980s.

The animation board has been rather dead as of late. These topics have done well and there are still many who haven't posted in them yet. Also, I don't want them falling off the edge and getting deleted. So bump!

Re: Favorite Animated Film From Each Year of the 1980s.

I know these boards are pretty quiet but I thought I'd bump all the old decades topics, some of which I started, for old times sake. Anyone lurking who hasn't posted yet, I'd love to see your list. Read the original post on the ones I started for instructions.
